LONDON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - European stocks rose on Monday,
rebounding from losses last week caused by worries over currency
devaluation in China, with French industrial group Alstom
outperforming on bets its takeover will be approved.

Alstom shares rose 6.9 percent after two people familiar
with the matter told Reuters that General Electric was
expected to get EU approval for a proposed 12.4 billion-euro
($13.8 billion) bid for Alstom's power business.
